It seems like The Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) is on a witch hunt. And a very costly one, as this large trial drags on and on.

Of course the trial is not really about a single tweet – that would be truly bizarre. It’s about scores of South Africans revolutionizing their health, using advice that is about the opposite of what they get from the Association for Dietetics in SA. So their former president lodged a complaint about a tweet… and that is what got this big thing going.

Claire will be doing a talk for an organization of dieticians which is supported by a board of people who derive their profits or get funding from big Pharma or big food. For example, Sandra Capra, the president of the icd board gets funding from big Pharma...link to Uniquest - the university-industry coalition that funds Sandra's so-called "research" found at this link:http://uniquest.com.au/industry-engagement

The only complaint The Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) could possibly have against Noakes is that Noakes is not being funded by Big Pharma and Big Food, like Nestle, Bayer, Pfizer, Coca Cola, etc. Apparently, it's a crime in South Africa to make a comment about nutrition if you are not backed up by Big Food or Big Pharma.
